About the Author
Laurence Bonnet is married to a nice grumpy bear. She owns two cats and is the mother of three little rabbits. Since she was little she has spent most of her time making, sewing, knitting, drawing... she never stops creating! So, in 2009, she created her first characters in fabric and soon after, Rose Minuscule was born. In her den not far from Paris, she installed a small workshop in which she spends most of her time sewing and knitting poetic stories. Her creations speak of childhood, of the difficulty of being small, of the power that small things have to reassure and make the world around them sweeter.

Reviews
What an absolute joy of a book! I wasn't too sure what I was expecting but the world of these beautiful hand made creatures is just so lovely! In fact - even when not making the little folk - I settle down with a cuppa and just read the text and look at the beautiful photographs! A joy of a book and one that I would highly recommend. Just superb!
-- Moyra Blayney * Customer Review *I love this book! Truly fantastic! All of the doll characters are so cute and clever! And with the options of making clothes and even bedding and toys for the toys themselves I loved this even more. I hope that everyone that buys this book feels the same way as I do. The author is such a great artist!
-- C. L. Theroux * Customer Review *Miniature everything is the name of the game for this French import, right down to the typeface used! Standing at about nine inches tall, all 18 of Bonnet's creature are delightfully designed, with exquisite facial features, up-to-the-minute clothing and accoutrements, and elegantly photographed objets d'art, including mattresses and blankets for Rosie and her miniature rabbit, a hot air balloon for Lili mouse, and an art portfolio, ankle boots, and more for their friends. Though a magnifying glass may be desirable for the aforementioned typeface, crafters can skip the sewing machine and instead use the mainly simple techniques on display here: knitting and
crochet stitches, running stitches, gathers, attaching arms, transferring patterns. Perhaps a bit big for a dollhouse, these are still stuffed huggables anyone would adore.
